Catsup, ketsap, ketchup, no matter how you spell it, banana catsup it is in the Philippines. Yes, there’s tomato catsup but as far as I can remember since I was born, it’s banana catsup that I see in our cupboard and in the restaurants. Most of us Pinoys want banana catsup as “sawsawan” lalo na when it comes to fried food (potato fries, fried chicken, fried pork etcetera). At home, I always make sure that I have a bottle of UFC banana catsup or else, I’ll hear from my husband and kids. I remember when...
I’m more of a cologne person and not so of the perfumes and because we have quite a bit of sensitive noses, I pick our colognes carefully. Though most baby colognes are described as mild, not all of them are truly mild. Some still have scents that are too strong and some even stings my skin, and some of the scents I’ve tested before were not even for babies.

When I received the trial packets of the new flavor mixes of Ajinomoto Crispy Fry, I immediately “road-tested” them in my kitchen ( You can check how it went here) I didn’t expect that Ajinomoto will have more exciting things for us after a couple of weeks. Just this February 24, Ajinomoto invited media and bloggers for a not-so-usual press gathering...
Ajinomoto Crispy Fry is my go-to breading mix whenever we crave for crispy, battered fried chicken at home. When I saw Ajinomoto’s latest offering in the grocery, I got very excited. I had my eyes first on the Ajinomoto Crispy Fry Shake! Shake! Shake! Parmesan Cheese flavor mix but I just found out that they have other 2 more : Smokey Barbecue, and Savory Seaweed. These...

I love the flavor of coffee and chocolate combined. Actually, I never forget to include a Mocha Mamon when I do the grocery. This inspired me to bake a batch of mocha cupcakes last Valentine’s Day. I was glad to because I enjoyed the mocha buttercream frosting I made. Here’s the recipe in case you will be craving for a mocha cupcake with a decadent mocha...
